Shadow of the Colossus HD release confirmed, new Last Guardian trailer

The long rumored Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD collection is real and …

With the Tokyo Game Show now in full swing, Sony has decided to reveal some news that many gamers have been eagerly anticipating: the high-definition rerelease of PS2 classics Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is indeed real, and Team Ico's upcoming game The Last Guardian finally has a release window.

The Ico/SOTC HD collection has been rumored for quite some time—we even caught a glimpse of what the collection could look like—but now it's official. And it looks like Sony is doing more than just a simple HD facelift. It will also feature support for 3D and Trophies, the framerate will be locked at 30fps, and the game will include the European ending. It's expected to be released in spring 2011.

We also finally have some new details on Team Ico's third game, The Last Guardian. Though a firm release date has yet to be announced, Sony says that the game will be available to PS3 owners during the 2011 holiday season. The company also unveiled a much-anticipated new trailer, which shows off some of the gameplay. The game appears to be a cross between Team Ico's previous two efforts, with the cooperative elements of Ico and a giant creature that makes a much more cuddly colossi. It also appears to be much more lighthearted than the developer's previous games, though knowing Team Ico, The Last Guardian will most likely find a way to make you cry.
